Bosch to cut 1100 jobs in Germany by 2029

The cost-cutting measures extend beyond Reutlingen. Bosch Engineering, a subsidiary of the group, will reduce 460 jobs globally by the end of 2027, with 380 of those cuts taking place in Germany.
Bosch Engineering currently employs 3,100 people worldwide, including 2,200 in Germany. These layoffs come as part of a wider response to what the company describes as a “difficult situation in the automotive industry.”
Pressure from Chinese rivals
Bosch’s decision underscores the growing strain on Germany’s automotive sector, which is grappling with falling demand and increasing competition – especially from Chinese manufacturers producing more affordable vehicles.
The company has not announced any immediate plant closures, but the reductions will significantly reshape operations at one of its key German sites.
